96 THE INSECTS OF GAYNDAH, 



pressed on each side, with the clypeus rough and deeply marked. 

 The thorax is longer than the breadth, is slightly narrowed at 

 the posterior angles which are acute, and has the median line, and 

 the posterior, and transverse impressions well marked. The 

 elyti'a are deeply striated, with the interstices convex. 



This insect differs from M. Australis in the deeper grooves on 

 each side of the head, in the marks on the clypeus, and in the 

 comparatively greater length of the thorax. 



62. — MORIO SETICOLLIS. n. sp. 



Length 4 lines. 



This species is of a more elongate form than the last. The 

 clypeus seems quite smooth, and the head is less deeply grooved 

 than in M. longicolUs.

In addition to the species which I name below from Gayndah, 

 this genus will comprise Carenum tuberculatum and carinatum 

 named by me, and two others undescribed in the collection of the 

 Australian Museum, one from South Australia, the other from 

 Nicol Bay.
